Bad sign for Tea Party?

Via Dan Savage (via Balloon Juice), Raven Brooks analyzes the Tea Party’s decision to reschedule their July convention for this fall. Their eminently reasonable take on it is that no group would welcome logistical nightmares and risk alienating its members by canceling a scheduled convention on such short notice unless they hadn’t sold enough tickets to make it worth their while. Sounds good to me. With the way they fumbled the ball by booking Sarah Palin as their keynote at their February convention and now this failure, you wonder what sort of longevity the Tea Party is going to have.
